This is Not Your 20th Century T & E Practice: Representing the “Modern Family”

There are substantial differences between the clients of current trusts and estates practitioners and the customary clients of 20th-century practitioners. Many more clients have significant parts of their family and/or assets within and without the USA, are part of an intentional family whose members are determined by client preferences rather than blood or marital relations, or have different cultural norms and expectations, such as a preference for collective decision-making rather than individual decision-making by themselves and/or their agents. The program discusses how trusts and estates practitioners can better help members of this very diverse set of modern families make decisions about the member’s respective assets, health care, children, and personal remains that best reflect such member’s individual needs and wishes.
